1 First off, I would like to thank you for considering the Aces Swim Club for your child. I would like to let you know that our practices are held at various locations: Arapahoe High School, Heritage High School, and Cherokee Trail High School. Below is more detailed information about our team, requirements, Rookie/Try Out Week and TENTATIVE practice schedules for each individual group. General Team Information: We are a year-round COMPETITIVE USA Swimming team. We hold practices from September until late July or early August. Our short course season (practices and meets are swum in 25-yard pools) runs from September until late March with the finale: The Colorado Short Course State Meet for the 14 & under age groups the end of February. Sectionals in mid March for the high school swimmers. We continue on through the summer with our long course season. Long Course season (most practices and all meets are in 50-meter pools) runs from March until the end of July with the finale: The Long Course State Meet for the 14 & under age groups. Futures/Junior Nationals/Senior Nationals for the high school swimmers. The following information will explain the requirements and try out information for all groups.

2 10 & Under Requirements: Some of the basic requirements would be that your swimmer be able to swim the four competitive strokes Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Freestyle. We would need them to be able to complete each individual stroke without stopping: For 8 & Under - swim a 25 of the four strokes without stopping. Practice commitment 2-3 times a week, and swim one meet a month. For 10 & Under - swim a 50 of the four strokes without stopping. Practice commitment 3-4 times a week, and one meet a month. 10 & Under - Rookie Week / Try Out: For 10 and Under swimmers only (all 11 & Over swimmers see below) - Arapahoe High School - 5:30-6:30 PM on August 13th, 14th, 16th, Cherokee Trail High School - 5:30-6:30 PM on August 13th, 14th, 16th, We will be holding a Rookie Week/Try Out for all new 10 & Under swimmers who would like to try out for the team. The Rookie Week/Try Out will be held at Arapahoe High School and Cherokee Trail High School. This is a try out, not all swimmers will make the team!! We highly encourage swimmers to be there every night during the Rookie/Try Out week. After the Rookie Week/Try Out week has concluded, the coaching staff will evaluate each swimmer and decide if they are ready to move into the competitive world of swimming. The ACES Swim Club has limited space on our rosters, and, if they are not quite ready, we will give them some other alternatives and place them on a waiting list for the future. We will notify each swimmer via of status by the evening of Sunday, August 19th. Every swimmer MUST register for the Rookie Week/Try Out. Please register your swimmer via our website and click on Join ACES to register for the Rookie Week/Try Out, before coming to the pool. This is not a registration for the team. It is solely for our coaches to have as much knowledge of each swimmer as possible before the week begins. There is a section available to include their previous teams and any times from previous meets that they have swum in, be it, a summer club meet or a USA Swimming meet or any other type of meet. 10 & Under Swimmers please remember to register for Rookie Week before you come to the pool (See the link in the Rookie Week/Try Outs section above for the link). If you have any questions, please contact Barbie Barker at Barbie1@acesswimclub.com.
